Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski accide

Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

She's checked herself out of hospital and is flying back home (http://uk.news.yahoo.com/21/20090317/tuk-actress-leaves-hospital-after-fall-6323e80.html) - doesn't sound dead to me.

Sounds like she has a bad concussion though, which I've experienced myself, and they do like you return to hospital if it doesn't clear up after 24 hours

Really scary--glad she seems to be okay and hope it stays that way.

Wow if that's the case, then that's great news. I hope there aren't any complications later.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

I've heard that she is now brain dead. I don't have a link, but read it on twitter.

:(:(


Edit: someone posted the following link, but it's not working for me. Perhaps for others. Another

That's quite an improvement going from dead to checking out of hospital within a few hours.

It's horrible that some news organization posted online that she was dead. I'm really glad she's alive

Perhaps she'll appear in Romero's new film?

Or perhaps some net journalists should learn to actually source their stories.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

Good to hear! I hope she makes sure to get good follow-up care, especially if it was a concussion.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

FWIW, Fox News is reporting that she is, in their words, brain dead and is being transported back to New York where is to be taken off of life support.

Link: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,509586,00.html

CNN also reports transport to the US, but does not specifiy current condition.

*shrug*

Guess we'll have to wait and find out when something happens one way or the other.

See, you can see how Faux news has read the "braindead" gossip, read the "flying to the US" bit, and tried to glue them together...

If you were going to take a brain-dead patient off life support, why would you fly them, on life support, to a different country to do it? Does that make any sense whatsoever?

No, it didn't make any sense to me, either, but that's what tehy are reporting. I thought there might be some sort of legal issue involved, perhaps, or something the family wants for some reason. In any case, not endorsing the logic (or lack thereof), just passing it along.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

There doesn't seem to be any solid information anywhere, except that she was hurt and is in "critical" condition.

I hope she'll be okay and make a complete recovery. :(
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

Again, FWIW, and take it as you will...

The Vancouver Sun is reporting that she "was feeling fine for an hour on Monday after falling" and also that the family would release a statement either Tuesday or Wednesday.

(Incidentally, I didn't know Liam Neeson was in Toronto, and for a film directed by a Canadian.)

That's very weird. I hope the brain-dead part isn't true. :(
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. Too sad all around.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

report from newsday
it is starting to sound as if something else may have been going on that caused the fall and what happened afterward.
 
Re: Natasha Richardson suffers possible brain damage in serious ski ac

I found this today. Unfortunately, she will likely not recover. :(

Sorry - don't trust comments from described as being from "family friends" - gossip mags use them way too often to basically get away with flat out lies.
